Blank screen when I turn the camera on all I get is a whie/blank screen in the viewfinder

Answers :

Since this is a S-series sony camera, it might have the same design as the dscs40.so you may want to use try this fix...this white blank screen is actually an issue with the lcd ribbon wire not making contacts.what you can do (at times this is able to resolve this issue) is to tap and put some pressure on the sony logo or mark at the bottom of the lcd screen.if it doesnt work, service might be required.hope this helps.thanks :)

I have a vistaquest vq700 with the wristvu photo watch. For some reason I can't get the camera to turn on unless its is plugged up to the pc to get charged. When its plugged into the pc a screen comes up and then the camera says establishing connection. Then the screen goes completly blank. The book has no toll free number or no troubleshooting context to help me fix the problem. What should I do?

Was taking pics & everything was okay. put the battery on the charger & when I put it back in the camera a while later the camera turned on, went right off then i hit power on again & it turned on but just a blank (lit up) screen.

Hi there ..
I have had this camera for a couple of years now and it as been fabulous however a couple of weeks ago, i went to turn it on and it made a churning noise, and then reported on its blank screen "lens error, restart camera"
It is a canon digital IXUS 900Ti. is there anyway to fix it or do i have to take it in?? also, if i have to get it repaired, do you know anywhere around the sydney city area where i can get cheap and prompt repairs performed??
Thank you and look forward

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or ...

My viewfinder went dark on me while taking pictures last night. The camera still takes pictures fine, but I can not see anything in the viewfinder. I see an 1842 on the screen when I first turn on the camera. Did a setting get changed when I swapped out the battery?

I've barely used this camera. After taking a picture last night, I thought I'd change the settings. When I pushed the menu button, it froze up and the screen went blank. It has remained this way. It won't turn off and none of the other buttons get a response. I just want to turn it off at this point because it's getting a little warm. Thanks,

Take the battery out, ASAP... Wait until it cools, see if that will reset it; if it doesn't and it is less than a year old your warranty is still in effect.\015\012\015\012 ...

When I turn my 550 PowerShot on, I get a blank screen (black for the most part with white camera symbology around the screen, such as the flash symbol, etc). The screen works, as I can click a picture and see the photo momentarily. I can also view my saved pics. When I select the film mode, the screen looks normal.......meaning it displays a color image of what is in the lens. Have I inadvertently selected a mode which is causing this phenomenon?

My Canon PowerShot SD850 IS has a lens that is stuck in the extended position. I get a screen that says lens error, restart camera, but when I try to connect to the software, I get a screen on the computer telling me the computer cannot detect the camera. Battery is freshly charged, and I get the little yellow bird picture on the camera when I turn it on. It beeps about 4 times, and then turns off. Is there a safe way to get the lens to retract?

Don't play around with that lens, you can do more damage to the camera and focus with some of the stuff people tell you to try. Your camera just needs to be serviced and you'll be working great again. The shop that specializes in service for the powe ...

When I turn on my Panasonic DMC-FX55 the lens comes out fine and the screen displays for 2 seconds then goes blank except for the message 'Turn off then on again' - which doesn't work. The only way to get the lens to retract is to select 'Playback' - tun off then on . The playback mode works fine and after 10 econds the lens returns to closed position. Is their a combination of buttons that reset the camera??

I have a SONY Cybershot DSC W150. When I turn it on the lens goes kut and comes back in several times, then I get the error message "Turn the Power Off and On Again", but doing that does not change anything. This is one of four digicams I own (also a Nikon D90, SONY DSC F717, and a Canon) and I like the W150 for some purposes because it is compact and has a viewfinder, not just a screen. I have been unable to find a similar camera. What can I do to fix the problem? Gerry Meisels [email protected]

When I turn on my Dimage E500, I get a blank black screen. I can review the old pictures taken on my memory card through my camera with no problems. I just cant take new pictures and if I try the pictures come out black like the screen. I have changed my batteries and memory card but nothing has helped. Please help me.
Thank you

Turned my fuji finepix camera on today and the screen remains white and I get no image of the scene in view. The batteries are fine and all the remaining functions such as menu items all work fine. The camera sounds exactly normal when it starts up but there is simply no image on either version of the viewfinder. Have replaced batteries and taken memory card out and in again.any help available please. Thanks

The iris may have stuck closed due to moisture or the CCD may be bad. Let it dry out for about a day if the iris is stuck. If you still can't get an image, then more likely the CCD is bad - take it in for repair. ...

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC FS10.When I turn it on I get nothing but a blank screen,both in taking and viewing mode.It still seems to be taking pictures as when I put the SD card into another camera I can see the results ( albeit out of focus )
The problem started two weeks ago and has been the same every time I switch on the camera.

It sounds like a issue with the lcd screen ...Either the ribbon that connects it to the main board is damaged or the lcd itself...If it takes pictures it means that the camera itself it is not affected and all you have to do is to change the screen . ...

Canon A85 Well there are a couple of things going on right now. Sometimes when I turn the camera on it will come on but the screen on the back stays dark and blank and it doesnt make the power on noise, other times it will come on correctly. Also when you do get it to come on correctly the screen is very hazy and has lines running through it.

LCD White-out I have had this Fuji FinePix A350 since Christmas 2006. This August while on vacation and taking quite a few pictures with a new 1GB XD card, the LCD screen would come on with a blank white screen as the camera was turned on. I continued to take photos using the optical viewfinder to frame my pictures, hoping that it was still working even if I couldn't view them. Fortunately, all the photos did come out fine even though some were totally out of focus (focusing was sometimes a prob

I was taking photos when suddenly my Canon PowerShot SD 1300 IS IXUS 105 read "Lens error. Will shut down automatically. Restart camera." Then the screen went blank. The lens will not retract. I cannot do anything other than turn the camera back on and get the same message. I've never had this problem before.

There is something wrong with your lens barrel. It can be anything from some sand/dirt that got inside in which you try using some canned air to blow out the particles while continually turning it on and off. Usually what it is from is the camera bei ...
